Talking Dead, which airs after The Walking Dead and its spinoff Fear the Walking Dead, is hosted by Chris Hardwick and features various guests -- frequently cast members -- discussing the events of the most recent episode.

Franchise creator Robert Kirkman announced at New York Comic Con last month that a character from one of his zombie-apocalypse dramas would appear on the other series. He did not say who it was or how he/she would fit into the story since the two shows take place on opposite sides of the country a few years apart.
